How can you be sure you choose the right pest control partner for your food processing business?
There are many pest control companies out there claiming to provide the best or most effective service, but how do you choose the right one for you? Read on to learn how to make a choice that will give you peace of mind.
Choose an approved and certified company
Any legitimate pest control company must be a member of a national pest control organization and have government permits authorizing technicians and the quality and safety department to use biocides against pests.
Membership in international pest control organizations such as CEPA (Confederation of European Pest Management Associations) is a major asset, as it ensures professionalism and the international exchange of best practices within the industry.
Is the pest control company transparent about the biocides and control methods it uses?
If the company is reluctant to provide information or doesn’t disclose anything, this is a red flag. It’s also important to review the terms and conditions, as they will provide you with assurances about the outcome of the treatment.
You can’t assume the pest control company will create a 100% pest-free environment if you don’t follow their recommendations.
Are you looking for a partner who values sustainable development?
Businesses are increasingly concerned about sustainability. It’s not just a marketing tool, but a conscious approach to sustainable growth, combining economic progress with management choices that have a positive impact on the planet.
Would you prefer to work with a pest control partner who is thinking about ways to do business more sustainably?
If sustainability is important to you, be sure to check out the company’s mission and vision, as well as its future initiatives to make a difference.
Insurance and damage coverage
Accidents happen frequently. Any pest control company can make a mistake from time to time, but what’s more important is how they handle damage to the building and/or property. So be sure to ask:
What insurance do you offer?
Are you looking for a partner who can cover multiple installations in multiple regions, multiple countries, or even worldwide? Or would you prefer a local provider who speaks the same dialect as you and can be contacted at any time?
We are an international company with a local subsidiary structure. This means that each subsidiary operates like a local company, but with the knowledge, technology, products, and tools that only large companies can provide. We have 32 local agencies across France.
So you’re sure to get the best of both worlds: international coverage, excellent customer service, and a familiar face who understands your needs.
How data-driven are your needs?
The pest control industry has evolved faster over the past 10 years, thanks to digitalization, the Internet of Things (IoT), and R&D investments.
Does your business have high demands for data-driven pest management strategies: predictive analytics, trend analysis, reporting capabilities, or 24/7 digital monitoring across all sites?
